Give me a break.

Speed definitely contributes to the death toll, but it's not the root cause of the problem.

I've got some dangerous implements in my kitchen (e.g. knives and forks, even a spork!) which could be used to kill. maybe they should be banned too...
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

Hopefully when the Torrens Island track gets built :) But i've never done anything stupid on the streets, I don't see the point.

How much was the car? You mean in stock or modified form? I got it stock for about $26k landed and on the road... but it looks/drives nothing like it does today :)


btw, i think there should be a Car Appreciation thread here.

thank for the complement red with white looks old school but it has to have the union jack vinyl on the roof :D , and I must admit Howie for 26k for a performance car, you cant beat that type bang for buck for a skyline, though as with this thread about excessive speed, skylines have got a bad rap due to the few bad apples who own them and are idiots.

BTW: I second the car appreciation thread

Yep skyline owners cop it sweet in terms of hooniness. Although an active effort is being made by a few people in my car club to talk to local police and show them we're not all hoons, just like not all bike lovers are 'bikies'.

Well, I'll be at the Torrens Island track if it gets built then :D

Hey, maybe I can do some wheelies there in my Parent's Astra :lol:

Yes, I need a car. No need to tell me that. Unless of course I can get Cruise to mod a bus for me :lol:

I'd find it ridiculously hard to choose a car in that segment - Cooper S, Focus XR5T, VXR, 3 MPS, Megane RS, Golf GTI, Civic Type R, C30 T5, WRX....there's not a bad car among them.

its a mind field in the hot hatch category and it comes down to what personal preference is, i test drove most of em and went for the kooper because its a great package but its probably the more expensive option of em all, but its unusual.
